Yesterday was what we'll call a learning day in the K8s (Kubernetes) journey. After getting my feet wet in the tutorials, I charged into spinning up a small local cluster with wild abandon, and it showed. I minted a brand new VM, and then proceeded to try to get a simplified version of k8s called Minikube to spin up. I had loaded the defaults on this VM which has mostly been okay, but this time I needed more vCPU and memory to even attempt to get the box to start Minikube. It actually might even need more memory, I'm not quite sure. Also, I realized that I has blown past the part in the docs where it said 2CPU and 2GB of Ram were required. Umm, oops! Also, I discovered that the hashtag I was inspired off of, #100daysOfKubernetes, already had some traction before I started it. One great thread is from @urlichsanais on Twitter, and she links to her YouTube treatments of this topic. So far I've watcherd her first few days videos, where she has talked about some of the basics. These have all been short and to the point, and have taken about 10 minuntes or less, so are ideally bite-sized. And Anais has a very enthusiastic approach, I enjoy watching her. Today I'm fiddling with my VM to see if I can make the Minikube spirit happy. I've bumped up the RAM (again), and we'll see if that makes things work a bit better.
